Many popular breakfast foods are loaded with just as much sugar as a lot of desserts have.
Dawson Leach knows the importance of eating a healthy breakfast.
“It gets your brain going for school,” says Dawson. He’s a fifth-grader from Meridian, Idaho.
At home, Dawson often has a big bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios with milk. Then he eats a chocolate chip granola bar. He thought this was a healthy breakfast. So he was shocked to learn that it contains more than 40 grams of sugar. A king-size Hershey’s chocolate bar has about that much sugar!
Dawson isn’t alone. Many people would be surprised by how much sugar is in their breakfast. Granola bars and certain cereals are often thought of as being healthy. But they might have just as much sugar as some desserts do.
“A lot of people think because it says ‘whole grain,’ it’s offering a lot of nutrients,” says nutrition expert Marlo Mittler. “But a lot of these foods are just the same as cookies.”
What’s for Breakfast?Health experts say it’s important to start the
day with a healthy breakfast. “When you have a breakfast that offers a lot
of nutrition, you’re going to be able to learn more, focus more, and stay awake and alert,” says Mittler.
The best breakfast foods are high in nutrients. For example, eggs are a good source of protein. That helps your muscles grow. Milk

provides protein too. It also has calcium, which helps strengthen your bones.
Many common breakfast foods, like yogurt and some cereals, do contain nutrients. But the problem is that many of these foods are often packed with sugar.
Natural vs. AddedNot all sugar is the same.
Sugar occurs naturally in foods such as fruits, grains, and milk. Most foods with natural sugar have vitamins and other nutrients. Despite those benefits, health experts say we should limit the amount of natural sugar we consume. For example, kids should eat only two to four servings of fruit a day.
Experts are more concerned about added sugar. That’s sugar that is put into foods and drinks when they’re processed and prepared. Flavored yogurts, baked goods, and most cereals and fruit juices have added sugar. Foods with a lot of added sugar can give you a quick burst of energy. But they typically lack nutrients. Mittler says these foods won’t keep you full. They also won’t give you the energy you need to get through the morning. You may not be able to stay focused in school.
Also, foods and beverages that contain a lot of added sugar can be bad for your health. They have been linked to tooth decay,
obesity, and other issues. Doctors recommend that
kids consume no more than 25 grams of added sugar a day. However, on average, kids ages 6 to 11 have about three times that much.
A Healthy StartHow can you make sure
you’re eating a healthy breakfast? Reading nutrition labels is a good way to start. Any sugar that appears in the ingredients list is added sugar. Spotting it can be tricky, though. Added sugar goes by many different names. Ingredients that end in -ose, such as high-fructose corn
syrup, are sugars. Other names for sugar you might see on food labels include corn sweetener, cane crystals, nectar, and honey.
It is also important to note the serving sizes on
nutrition labels. They’re often different from the amount you might usually eat. For example, one serving of Honey Nut Cheerios is three-quarters of a cup. But Dawson was eating about two cups of the cereal for breakfast.
Dawson says he has learned a valuable lesson. From now on, he’s going to pay closer attention to the nutrition labels on his breakfast foods.
“That will tell you what’s really in it,” he says. —by Joe Bubar
Breakfast vs. DessertHere’s a look at some
common breakfast foods and desserts that have a similar amount of sugar.

About the Hawaiian Islands - Student Reading https://besspresseducation.com/hawaiians-of-old/the-islands-were-born/ Kauaʻi and Niʻihau
The island of Kaua‘i was once a huge volcano. It has been worn down more than the other main islands. It has the largest rivers and deepest canyons. The north side of the island has deep valleys. Rain clouds form and are blown by winds. As the clouds rise over the mountains, they let out rain. The water makes streams, and the streams make valleys. The water wears down the rocks. The biggest waves hit the north side, too. They make steep cliffs.
Wai‘ale‘ale is a mile-high mountain. Rain clouds gather there, and it may be the rainiest place on earth. Years after the huge volcano made the mountain, a new crack opened up. A kind of lava came out that became very hard when it cooled. The Alaka‘i Swamp is on top of that lava. The rain gathers in the swamp, and from there it flows into the many rivers and streams of Kaua‘i.
Other cracks opened up later, too. Lava came out and flowed on top of the old lava. New craters were made. Kilohana Crater, near Līhu‘e, was made after the rest of the island was formed. The craters near Kōloa were made later too, thousands of years after the rest of Kaua‘i.
The small island of Ni‘ihau is older than Kaua‘i. Its mountain was partly worn down before Kaua‘i was formed. Most of the volcano has sunk into the ocean, leaving only one of its sides to form the low mountains that are on the eastern side of Ni‘ihau today. Ni‘ihau is a dry island. The larger island of Kaua‘i blocks the rain clouds from reaching Ni‘ihau.
Oʻahu
O‘ahu was made by two large volcanoes. First the Wai‘anae Volcano built a mountain range. The mountains started to wear down. Then another volcano made the Ko‘olau Mountains. The lava from this volcano poured over the hard lava that had come from the Wai‘anae mountains many years before. The lava joined the two mountain ranges where Wahiawā is today.
There are steep mountains behind Kāne‘ohe. Once, the big Ko‘olau lava pit was near there. It has since sunk. The winds and rain come from the northeast. They have worn down the steep mountains and made beautiful cliffs.
Corals formed much of the land near Honolulu. Then smaller cracks in the mountain opened and more lava poured out. Streams had worn down the Nu‘uanu and Mānoa valleys. Later, lava flowed from small craters in those valleys and blocked the streams. The paths of the streams changed. They had to find a new way to the ocean. Koko Head, Hanauma Bay, and other small craters were formed later, after the rest of the island had started to wear down.
O‘ahu is just the right age to have much water stored in underground rock. This lava rock is full of holes. Rainwater drips down through the lava rock until it comes to the level of the seawater. Lava rock also holds seawater. Freshwater is lighter than seawater. It rests in the lava rock on top of the layer of seawater. People on O‘ahu get their water from this underground place. Maui
Maui was made by two volcanoes also. The mountain to the west is older. It has been worn down for thousands of years. It has deep valleys. ‘Īao Needle is like a huge rock tower. It is made of harder rock. It did not wear down so easily.
Haleakalā is the eastern mountain. It is much younger. The pit of the Haleakalā mountain was big, but it was not as big as the crater we see there today. That big crater was made by water. Two big valleys were made first. As the valleys eroded more, they joined together. Lava pouring from cracks formed new cones. This happened several hundred years ago. Hawaiians were here when lava came out of some of Haleakalā’s cones. They saw the last small cones being formed.
Long before the Hawaiians came, when the oceans were much lower, Maui was much bigger. Moloka‘i, Lāna‘i, and Kaho‘olawe were all joined to Maui by coral reefs. Then the water rose again. The islands are not joined now, but the water between the islands is not as deep as in other places.
Molokaʻi
Two volcanoes made Moloka‘i. The one in the west is small. The one toward the east is bigger. The rain hits the eastern mountain first, and the mountain blocks the rains. The rain clouds do not get to the west side of Moloka‘i. That is why the west side is very dry.
The north side of the eastern mountain has deep valleys. It has cliffs that are among the highest in the world. The rains and ocean hit this part of the island the hardest. They have made a beautiful coastline. Many hundreds of years after the eastern mountain was made, a newer crack poured out lava on the north side of Moloka‘i. It made the land of Makanalua, often called Kalaupapa. This was the last part of Moloka‘i to be made. It was made below high cliffs that had already been worn down by the ocean, the wind, and the rain.
Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe
The island of Lāna‘i was made by only one large volcano. The volcano sent out lava from its caldera at the top and from cracks on its slopes.
Lāna‘i is a dry island. The mountains of East Moloka‘i and West Maui block most rain clouds from reaching the island. They also block the high ocean waves. That is why Lāna‘i, unlike the other islands, does not have high cliffs on its northeastern side. It has beaches and flat land there. Lāna‘i has some cliffs on its southern shores made by the storms that come from that direction.
Kaho‘olawe was made mainly by one volcano. Kanapou Bay on the eastern side of the island was once part of the volcano‘s caldera.
Kaho‘olawe has very little rain because it is blocked by the island of Maui and also because it is not very high. Rain clouds do not form over a low island. Once, more grass, bushes, and trees grew on the top of the island. Sheep that were brought in ate the plants. Then the wind blew much of the soil away. Hawaiʻi
Hawai‘i is the youngest island. It is so young that it has few coral reefs. It has few sandy beaches. The island is still being made. Mauna Loa and Kīlauea volcanoes are still growing.
They have not stopped sending out lava. The island of Hawai‘i is made up of five volcanic mountains. The Kohala Mountains are the oldest. They are older than Haleakalā on Maui. They have deeper valleys than the rest of the mountains of Hawai‘i.
Mauna Kea is the next oldest mountain. It is six miles tall from the bottom of the ocean to its top. There is snow on top of Mauna Kea in winter. There is a small lake also.
Hualālai is much younger. The last lava flow was in 1801. There were two large flows of lava that year. The Hawaiians were already here and saw the lava coming from the cracks on Hualālai.
Mauna Loa and Kīlauea are the youngest volcanoes in Hawai‘i. Lava still flows from their craters or from cracks on their sides. It builds more land. The caldera on each of these volcanoes can still be seen. These volcanoes have not been worn down much yet. Rainwater has not made deep valleys, and the waves have not made steep cliffs on the shore. https://besspresseducation.com/hawaiians-of-old/the-islands-were-born/
